J.K. Rowling

Gingerbread

J.K. Rowling has supported the work of Gingerbread (originally known as ‘One Parent Families’), since the year 2000.

Starting as an ambassador for their work – they provide advice, practical support and campaign to highlight the needs of lone parents and their children – in 2007 she took an honorary position as President of the charity.

Gingerbread has over 90 years’ experience, providing advice and practical support for single parents.

In their words, ‘J.K. Rowling is a powerful advocate for all parents raising children alone. The speeches she has given and the articles she has written have struck a chord with many single parents nationwide. Many recognise the raw poverty she has described. Jo has also generated a sense of pride among single parents.’
